Utah, located in the Southwest region of the United States, is well known for
its incredible scenic beauty and year round outdoor activities including skiing,
snowboarding, hiking, boating, water skiing, horseback riding, camping, and rock
climbing. The capital city of Salt Lake City has a number of unique modern and
historical sites to visit, including Temple Square, the headquarters for the
Mormon church.

There are generally fewer Spanish speakers in Utah than in other states of the
southwestern United States, although this proportion is increasing. You may be
able to find speakers of the major European and Asian languages in Salt Lake
City and Provo, owing largely to the universities there (the University of Utah
and Brigham Young University, respectively). Also many men who have served
overseas as missionaries of the LDS (Mormon) Church have acquired working
knowledge and often fluency in various foreign languages.
